I know this is long but I'm getting desperate!
I have included chunks of my code and the console messages I'm getting....I'm using Visual Cafe 4 (Pro) and Access 2000 for my database. Why is this compiling but won't run? What could I possibly be doing wrong??

I'm begging for help! I've spent the past 2 days modifying and remodifying and still don't know what the problem is. Any assistance or suggestions would be gratefully received!

Thought I would follow up on this for those who may have read it and not had any suggestions. I took my program to a C++ programmer friend of mine who knows Java well enough. He spent about 4 hours going through and testing all my code and then removed all traces of Visual Cafe in the boot sequence on my computer and compiled right from the 1.2.2 SDK and it ran beautifully...the problem was in Visual Cafe, not my code!
Beware! This was a horrendous time waster for me!
